Is it jailbreakable?
Words alone cannot describe my disappointment that the OS was not released today. Additionally, Wal-Mart and Best Buy have not updated their prices on-line for the current 3G model and don't even think about trying to order the 3G from the AT&T site or the Apple site. They both seem to be overwhelmed and do not complete screen to screen order procedures. Another Apple fiasco. Please forgive me, I'm just disappointed the OS was not released for this 1st gen iphone user.
I just can't believe that voice dialing was part of the new hardware but not OS 3.0! How can it by tied to hardware? It seems like such a simple task.
I now this is just wishful thinking, but on Apple's site for the iPhone 3.0 OS (Which Apple emphasizes is for those who have an iPhone and want new features) video capture is actually listed in the MMS section. It states the following:
"Even tap to snap a picture or shoot a video right inside Messages."
It sure would be neat if this was an indication of a feature available to 3G iPhones that Apple just didn't want to mention in the Keynote.
Looks like they are trying to push people into buying tye new phone to get most of the features, It would be a huge downgrade for me to get 3.0, I wonder how long until it's jailbroken? What do we get? A landscape keyboard (useless)? And copy and paste? That's it? No bluetooth? nothing else? I guess copy and past will come in handy for putting those stupid codes into pos ATT's viewmymessage nonsense...
I think one of the biggest issues with the iPhone that was not addressed was the unorganized settings menu. Why can't they just make it like SBSettings!!!!!!
This is horrible I just buy the 3g now they come out with a new one this sucks
do you still have 30 days to exchange a phone
I would like to say that it is about time AT&T released something decent for the Iphone, you pay a couple hundred dollars for "the most advanced phone" and all you get is basic software with a touch screen, I love the Iphone but come on and give us a little something more i.e. bluetooth, video, picture messageing, something that is worth the money besides the touch screen, come on.
Tuesday is the 16th the 17th is a Wedensday. Also i just bought the iphone 3G a week ago and know they come out with this. Do you think i can exchange it????
I'm so confused by reading all or your posts...
Have you not followed how apple has run things over the past 5+ years. Here is the math so you don't get shocked when you upgrade your phone before the first week of June next year. Apple releases a new version of their Hardware once a year, Usually within a weeks time. Its the same for their laptops, desktops, ipods, iphones... you can be sure there will be a new iPhone on the market next June, in fact I bet it is released on June 18th... just a guess. As for functionality, are you kidding me. Of course they are going to save the good stuff for those using the new version of the phone. Apple doesn't make money off you using your phone service, they make money off you buying their products. seriously people, thats just the way the industry goes.
with a 2.2.1 "jailbroken" iPhone and the numerous apps that are available to date, (other than iTunes' selection), there is really not much to upgrade. Although from Texas, I do agree with canadianiphone in that this is how the system works and it will continue to head in this direction, "onward through the fog". I have bluetooth, live streaming video capability, video recorders, tracking apps and I can use my iPhone as a modem as well. I just wish it would mix my drinks for me...
Hey Taxas iSquid, I don't know my overall experience with the Iphone had drop quite a lot since Jailbreak. Is that the same for you? Or may be is only because of apps like backgrounder and e-alert!
Just tell me which app you use from cidia and will tell you how to get your phone to mix your drink.
Cheers,

I don't know what you guys are getting on about unless you have a 1G or 2G iphone you are getting Bluetooth updates. I would agree if you have the 1 or 2 G it's not worth the 10 bucks it'll probably cost to upgrade though.
If you purchased an iPhone 3G on or after May 9th, you can exchange it for an iPhone 3GS. All you would need to pay is a $20 restocking fee.
Yes the 3.0 is 100% jailbreakable, there is a new installer, you can allready jailbreak tha Beta!
Just exactly what does jailbreak do for my iphone, if you please?
Does anyone care to say at what time exactly are we getting the iPhone OS 3.0??? I'm shocked NOBODY on the web has asked this.
im assuming they are releasing it at 12:00 am on wednesday morning....idk tho...we will just sit in front of our laptops panting all day and keep checking for an update
hmmm does that mean that for the UK i wont be able to get the upgrade till bout 6?
UH! Specifically to ripjames : there is no such thing as a 1G or 2G iphone! the old model is not an iphone 2G! ..there was ONE previous phone, and it was iPhone. 3G in this case isnt third generation. It's named 3G after the 3G network. watch the keynote that introduces it, they say it clearly.
iPhone and iPhone 3G > that's IT! till next week, add 3Gs ... if it was Generation.. it'd've been iphone 4g.. no.
anyway. i just hate people saying 2G referring to the first gen iphone.
Tinak---- I couldnt agree with you more. There so far have only been to generations of iphones releases and thats the iphone (1st gen), iphone 3g (2nd Gen), coming this firday will be the iphone 3g S (3rd Gen),
Does anyone know or have an idea at what US time the iphone 0s 3.0 will be released tomorrow. Im hoping for midnight but i havent heard anything defenate yet. Does anyone have any input?
@Wilson -- if it is midnight, I would guess it would follow California time which is 2AM Central or 3AM EST
There is an app for voice dialing if you look in the right place. If you jailbreak your 2.2.1 it will also open up a lot more options the the app store does not offer...
that the app store does not offer*****
fuccup! nerds!
dear canadianiphone,
Apple doesnt just release once a year 2.2 and 2.2.1 were released within months of each other retard. while 2.2.1 was mainly bug fixes it is still an upgrade. Maybe youre confused because you have a hard time reading, but this stuff isnt rocket science, its peoples thoughts and questions. Hmmm kinda the point of a blog dont you think?
So no one knows the time it will be released. I haven't been able to find it anywhere.
Still no word on a release time?
I think its 1pm EST, which i make 16:00 GMT
how the hell did you work that out? EST is 5 hours behind GMT lol
well its definately not 00:00 for UK, not available yet
@Josh
you are an idiot as he quite clearly stated that Apple released new HARDWARE once a year, eg. iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3Gs, which is correct. 2.2 and 2.2.1 are software updates, idiot, and so are SOFTWARE. Not rocket science.
i think the release time would be 00:00 Pacific Time since that is midnight for Apple in California.
fuckin bastard americans with their faggoty times. just relase it on the fuckin gmt u retards.

I believe Apple is an American company and the iPhone an American product. When was the last time anybody wanted anything the rest of you made, besides maybe a car! Google, Microsoft, Intel, Apple, Dell, Compaq/HP, hmmm. It's not about doing things that are different; it's about doing things.

Hey guy's 3.0 out in england now!!!!!
Some apple fans are hillaious. If you get that upset over the use of the word 2g, get a life!!!

Got it!!! Off the official latvian apple website! Update available for download if you go on there! Currently downloading, however i'm going to have to wait at least 30 minutes for it to finish!
W TF guys stop pretending to be me i know u all love me but seriously, leave me alone or i think i might cry in my boyfriends arms, as he jacks me off to make it all better...
Do any of you guys know if it's possible to jailbreak the iPhone using windows?
Yes. Google it.
Oh yeah, I believe they release it is Latvia, Bolivia, and The Congo before it releases to the rest of the world.
Its not true , Im in Latvia website and there is no such thing as 3.0 OS download in there ?
lol you believed him.
@Jesse- how do you know it will be 12:01 EST? if so, that would be great!
I don't "know" it. I was just told that by an Apple rep. After searching the web to no avail, I used my "dial 0" app asked? What a concept!
Hey fools just get the iphone 3.0 final version i have it its the same one that is coming out tomorrow no BETa just google "iPhone1,23.07A341_Restore" and for all the people in the us the mms is not ready to launch at&t is being gay like the othere gays on this post
ok thx
Aww, is someone still bitter about getting their a$$ kicked 233 yrs ago?
iphones are better then a nice hot cup of coffee.
I love a good ol' country war over the internet.
Blood Bitter Look at what our former king (monkey) George did to us in 8 years. At one time the sun never set on the British empire. I hope monkey George hasn't started our decline.
Im an Apple rep. and here are the answers to your questions. 1.There is indeed a 2g iPhone, it just wasn't ever released to the public. 2.Release date and time is 12:01am Eastern Time. 3. The 3.0 OS software update has not been released anywhere yet, and it will be realeased in U.S.A first, not England, Bolivia, Spain. ect. -Apple-
ha that dude seemed legit...
number 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
